In a recent promotional interview , Lokesh shared that the intermission sequence is what he is most excited to watch unfold in theatres alongside audiences. “We spent two years building and planning that one moment,” he said, calling it a dream come true as a fan working with Rajinikanth for the first time.
On the emotional value of the project, Lokesh noted, “Coolie will always be a memory to me—not just for the filmmaking, but for the bond we all formed off-screen. From Rajini sir to Nagarjuna sir, Soubin sir, Upendra sir… we all stayed together like a family.”
